Very common for professional use

west hornet
#

XLR sends the actual audio signal whereas usb sends a digital signal. To connect to a pc you need a digital signal eventually. Usb mics have what is called an adc or analog to digital converter which xlr mics do not have so you would need an interface to convert the signal. XLR mics are found in the professional audio scene but can be expensive for entry level

steep pelican
#

If you are going to be doing more professional singing or for a job it could be a worthwhile investment

#

Thank You

west hornet
#

The 2 mics i just mentioned(q2u and at2005usb) work with either usb or xlr so if you plan to get a interface on the future you can

wintry pawn
#

great!

west hornet
#

Oh also you can look up reviews for mic stuff from podcastage, he is pretty thorough and to the point with reviews

steep pelican
#

@west hornet what does a preamp do? My dad has his mics run into one before it runs into his interface

wise token
#

black ice is scary be safe

west hornet
#

An interface should have a preamp, essentially the raw signal of a mic is very low so a preamp will boost it and should do so adding minimal noise in the signal. Some people will put an additional preamp or mic activator in the line before the interface to give a bit of an extra boost, you would do this for some mics that are extremely quiet notably the sm7b

steep pelican
#

I think he mostly uses it for his guitars too

west hornet
#

Ahh guitars are a bit different and there are a lot of things you can add in a guitar chain. Idk much about them sadly 😦

Aww

My dad has a lot of audio equipment lol

#

Not close to a professional probably but still a lot

west hornet
#

Ye some mics can be great all rounders. Im kinda tempted to get a earthworks icon pro but money haha

#

Oh this reminds me you can actually get some decent stuff from even a smartphone. This guy is newer to youtube but has some good content https://youtu.be/B6yG5rmHLx0

Learn how to process phone recordings to get the best sound quality like a professional dialog mixer...because it happens more often than you think! Even on big TV shows and feature films, sometimes the only thing we've got is audio from a phone.

#

best headset gaming under 120 dolars?

timber ridge
#

which are pretty much the best gaming headset

fluid raft
#

the problem is that i live in portugal, so they dont sell either here or amazon es

timber ridge
#

are you okay with going with standalone mic and pair of headphones?

fluid raft
#

like headphones i have the sony xm3, but i was looking for some gaming ones

swift lantern
#

"gaming" things are garbage, FYI

#

But a mod mic costs more than it should

fluid raft
#

hmm and what a mic under 100?

timber ridge
#

stand alone mic, you can get a fifine or q2u

#

or some type of mod mic or something similar

swift lantern
#

Mod mic usb and line in is $50

#

I'm just saying considering they're the same quality of mic as any headset, they should be cheaper

fluid raft
#

hmmm so in a 100 dolars budget

#

mod mic or stand alone mic?

tiny monolith
#

Anyone know any service or someone willing to build me a keyboard. I’ll pay. Just @ me if interested

#

Thanks

timber ridge
fluid raft
#

any specific fifine mic?

timber ridge
#

forgot the model, can you screenshot what is available in your country ?

fluid raft
#

oh ok

small nimbus
west hornet
#

Its like k669 iirc

#

If you want to be really close to budget you can try elgato wave 1 or if you need dynamic mic q2u or at2005usb

timber ridge
#

budget was 100 for headphones and mic im p sure

#

so fifine and q2u are really the only options

i just discovered the monstrosity of a gaming desk and i-

i have no words for how 9 year old fortnite addiction that thing is

cunning hearth
#

LMAO TRUE

queen sigil
#

bro you got an rgb mousepad

#

don't talk about how other products are targeted to gamers

calm cobalt
#

bro its a joke

#

the mousepad isnt bad, i like it personally but gaming desks

#

its honestly cringe lmao

#

but calm down jamal

queen sigil
#

rgb mousepads, gaming chairs, gaming desks, all things just to lure in lots of childeren who think rgb looks nice

#

and "gamer aesthetic"

calm cobalt
#

i dont have a gaming chair

#

gaming desk

tight pulsar
#

grr crp isnt here yet

calm cobalt
#

i just have a light up keeb and mouse and mousepads arnet bad- if i get a pc setup im not gonna go all "RGB GAMER GAMER X FORTNITE X GAMER GAMER X"

queen sigil
#

@tight pulsar how much did you sell you keyboard for again

#

and how much did customs and shipping cost

tight pulsar
#

uh it was like 550 and dhl express+import tax/duties was 63+40something

queen sigil
#

100+ for shipping and customs

#

Also having all RGB preipherals still shows the same aesthetic as whatever you're implying

calm cobalt
#

im not trying to overkill it, i can turn the mousepad off...

#

i dont even have it on rn

queen sigil
#

then why would you have bought an RGB mousepad

calm cobalt
#

omfg

cunning hearth
#

leyo, drop it

#

some people just like some rgb smh

queen sigil
calm cobalt
#

having rgb doesnt mean the person is some 10 year old fortnite kid, its not even that much rgb....

queen sigil
#

i'd say having an RGB mouse keyboard an mousepad is having alot of RGB

calm cobalt
#

well thats a personal opinion

#

idrc even care abt it that much i dont have a proper setup its just my keeb area setup

queen sigil
#

okay hyperx

#

50 hours = long battery life

#

wait what

#

didin't know it could do that

#

hyperx software is pretty bad

#

there we go

cunning hearth
#

50 hours is pretty long

#

for a mouse

#

a gaming mouse

queen sigil
#

50 hours without rgb im pretty sure

#

or my mosue is just old

calm cobalt
#

i mena i want a wireless setup

#

but ion wanna have to deal with charging them

#

cause i game a lot

queen sigil
#

I'd say that's a pretty terrible reason to not change to a wireless mouse

calm cobalt
#

50 hours is only a little over 2 days...

queen sigil
#

do you game for 50 hours straight without breaks?

#

Just like your phone, do you use it for days straight?

calm cobalt
#

no, but i easily game for 10+ hours on weekends/days off

calm cobalt
#

in total, thats gonna run out fast

queen sigil
#

so like your phone.

#

You use it all day

#

and by the end of the day chances are it's out of battery

#

when is a good time to charge it

calm cobalt
#

i have it on a wireless charger at my desk usually

#

so i dont have to charge it very often

queen sigil
#

You charge it when you aren't using it correct?

calm cobalt
#

yes, but i also charge it when im using it

#

cause its wireless

#

and the charger is a stand

queen sigil
#

god do u not get it yet

#

you can charge your mouse

#

when you aren't using it

calm cobalt
#

okay but still its personal preference stop coming tf at me

queen sigil
#

bruh you just said the reason you didn't want a wireless setup is because charging

calm cobalt
#

omfg

queen sigil
#

and i'm here saying you can charge things when you aren't using them

calm cobalt
#

still id have to charge it every like 3 or 4 days

#

im not

#

no

queen sigil
#

Lol is you closest charger like 3 miles away from your desk

#

see the point i was trying to make is if you are SLEEPING

#

you could charge your mouse

#

because you aren't using your mouse when you are sleeping

calm cobalt
#

im not charging my mouse every night. its bad, cause once it reaches 100% i cant get up at 4am to unplug it

#

so its gonna continue to waste power

#

same with my phone, i jsut charge it before i sleep, and turn it off completley

#

now stop coming at me

queen sigil
#

bruh is power like super expensive or something

queen sigil
#

that's alot of aluminum

#

or whatever that is

#

M track solo is slightly better than the um2 around the same price. Xm8500 is a nice starter dynamic, personally id go neat king bee or worker bee rather than at2020

Could also do q2u since its a usb xlr combo mic

i mean sennheiser has been making things for ages

if its not your cup of tea it doesnt mean its not everyone elses cup of tea either

dont mc ppl usually go with roccat or whatever

calm cobalt

bridging/mlgrush/basically legit antikb lmao

but you should put in consideration your grip type

queen sigil

the model o is alot

timber ridge

and hand size

calm cobalt
#

palm

queen sigil
#

used alot

calm cobalt
#

medium to smaller ish range

palm grip model o

timber ridge
#

model d for palm

calm cobalt
timber ridge
#

im not sure how good it performs for drag clicking tho

swift lantern
#

I'm gonna go with a topping d10

calm cobalt
#

or bloody a60

queen sigil
#

who would pay 10$+ for a shiny mouse

calm cobalt
#

they all seem to be decent but i want some more options just to look around

queen sigil
#

and basically every mouse can drag click

#

if you reduce the debounce

timber ridge
#

a60 looks like it has a horrible shape ngl

queen sigil
#

and use grip tape

#

I can dragclick my pulsefire dart

timber ridge
#

either the roccat options

#

pure ultra looks more suited for palm grip

calm cobalt
#

it is a mess

timber ridge
#

its more of a ergo design

#

so youll benefit from it more

calm cobalt
#

also imagine paying another $10 for some leathery pads couldnt be me

#

could not be me

swift lantern
#

lance I'll be sure to let you know if dacs are a scam

calm cobalt
swift lantern
#

you better believe it narutorun

calm cobalt
#

it's apparently a bloody a70 but with less smooth buttons

timber ridge
#

the shape is wonky

#

and i personally think its looks like a budget mouse

#

pure ultra is ment for palm grippers

#

considering its shape

queen sigil
#

looks really OEM

#

looks like a red dragon

timber ridge
#

kain 100 will work too but pure ultra is legit a palm grip mouse

queen sigil
#

they looks the same

#

4000 dpie

timber ridge
#

thats like an ambi claw grip mouse

calm cobalt
#

bloody a60 $24 on aliexpress sus

queen sigil
#

the mouse isnt a good mouse

#

lol

#

its just a cheap chineese brand

calm cobalt
queen sigil
#

lol yeah

calm cobalt
#

hm

timber ridge
#

reminds me of red dragon

queen sigil
#

its basically red dragon

#

like their mice only go up to 4000 DPI

calm cobalt
#

apparently taiwanese

calm cobalt
timber ridge
#

yea, but go with the pure ultra 🙂

queen sigil
#

more dpi more good

calm cobalt
queen sigil
#

its a joke

#

bloody products all seem like cheap chineese stuff

#

don't buy it

calm cobalt
#

idk you can do those thicc drags on it and get like 70ish cps

queen sigil
timber ridge
#

theyre using oem shells

#

but half of em are bad

calm cobalt
timber ridge
#

well nothing if you use a good shaped one

#

a lot of the popular mice look the same bc the shape is really good

queen sigil
#

and cheap mice generally feel cheap

calm cobalt
#

lmao like every company has a mouse that's like a g502

queen sigil
#

sharp plastic,

#

etc

#

hard plastic

timber ridge
#

for palm grip, its best to get a mouse that has an ergo shape

#

a60 doesnt have that

calm cobalt
#

i have a g502 that has sharp and hard plastic

#

major bruh

swift lantern
#

sand it lmao

queen sigil
#

that's because it's a g502

timber ridge
#

yea its an old mouse lol

swift lantern
queen sigil
#

literally the shape of the mouse is gonna make it sharp

timber ridge
#

logitech newer stuff is all rounded

calm cobalt
#

it's the redesign too bruhhh

queen sigil

#

and they are usually cheap for a reason

vagrant sleet

drop needs to make something to compete with sundaras

placid dune

honestly i was expecting a lower price too

calm cobalt
#

1k is kinda expensive for earphones

#

idk about u but 1k is my budget for my whole setup

timber ridge
#

but idk

placid dune
#

I've never gone to super high end stuff tho so

#

Maybe this is actually a steal

Just that frequency and driver type alone sounds pretty epic

daring zenith
#

Price looks interesting

sand igloo
#

tight pulsar
#

k n o b by the one and only geon

rugged lion
queen sigil
#

what's wrong with the gk61

#

its basic

rugged lion
#

gk61 or gk61x

cosmic chasm
#

hi guys im looking for the best studio monitor $150

#

overall

queen sigil
rugged lion
#

since both are bad

#

the gk61 is like 60 bucks hotswap but optical

#

gk61x is like 120 regular hotswap

queen sigil
#

whatever the non optical one is

rugged lion
#

however for that price u can get a portico and nk65

queen sigil
#

lol what

rugged lion
#

yeah the x

queen sigil
#

where are you buying a gk61x or whatever for 100+

daring zenith
#

There's a gk61 with regular hotswap at 60/65$ iirc

rugged lion
#

yeah thast my bad tgheres 2 gk61x,

#

the one ur talking about is like 60-70

queen sigil
#

ur probs looking at like the aluminum one or something

rugged lion
#

yeah im talking about the aa one

#

i feel still its worth saving for an nk65

daring zenith
rugged lion
#

since the gk61 has north facing switches

queen sigil
#

i mean if ur gonna save up for an nk65 might as well wait for the kbd67

daring zenith
#

that's the optical one

#

55$

tight pulsar
daring zenith
#

bonk

rugged lion
#

yeah but its optical

daring zenith
#

Yes, I was responding to the optical is 60$ mech is 100$ thing

#

dunno why amazon mech is 80$ rn, usually around 60$

queen sigil
#

?????

#

what are you talking about lol

rugged lion
#

he said amazon

queen sigil
#

and for the price a gk61x is fine

sudden marsh
#

I have a Keychron k6, i tried to install the software for it and now the backlight is off and the keyboard isn't working. the power light is on, is there a fix for this?

queen sigil
sudden marsh
#

Oof

queen sigil
#

no clue what software you are talking about

gloomy berry
#

That's every firmware ever lol

sudden marsh
#

thats odd

daring zenith
#

Keychron has firmware????

sudden marsh
#

so is the keyboard broken?

queen sigil
#

im pretty sure keychron doesnt have any software

sudden marsh
#

hmm

daring zenith
#

Yea they don't have software

#

hm

sudden marsh
#

its on the website with the keychron domain?

daring zenith
#

Did you flash the firmware?

#

Software and firmware are different things

sudden marsh
#

i dont think i did

#

i downloaded firmware

#

thats what it was

#

not software

daring zenith
#

Did you do the factory reset?

sudden marsh
#

oh i thought i was downloading software to rebing keys and all that?

daring zenith
#

uh what

#

no

sudden marsh
#

no how would i do that?

#

lmao im quite a noob

daring zenith
#

via

sudden marsh
#

oh

queen sigil
#

does keychron do VIA?

daring zenith
#

I'm not sure

#

maybe maybe not

sudden marsh
#

i found how to reset the keyboard

queen sigil
#

im pretty sure it doesnt

daring zenith
#

oh well

#

I don't remap keys

#

I buy keeb with all the keys I need :P

queen sigil
#

Yeah its not

daring zenith
#

rip

sudden marsh
#

tried the factory reset didnt work

#

ill connect it to a different pc to see if its just the firmware

daring zenith
#

firmware is downloaded onto the keyboard

#

it's like drivers

sudden marsh
#

oh

daring zenith
#

it's very different from just software

sudden marsh
#

so i have 0 idea what i should do

daring zenith
#

Well, might be good to contact Keychron support

sudden marsh
#

i downloaded the firmware and opened the executable in the file

#

i can build a pc but am totally useless for everything else lmao

daring zenith
#

Just need to pay a bit more attention to the warnings

sudden marsh
#

yeah

daring zenith
#

the more you know

queen sigil
#

I don't think it has software

#

and bruh

#

how did u not see this

sudden marsh
#

its quite dumb how installing some firmware can break a keyboard tho

daring zenith
#

not exactly

sudden marsh
#

contacted support

daring zenith
#

Firmware is how it runs, it's like flashing a new bios, or idk, editing CPU microcode, flashing vbios, it's always a bit risky

sudden marsh
#

so there is no way to just reset the firmware?

queen sigil
#

firmware isnt software

tight pulsar
#

wuts happening

daring zenith
#

@tight pulsar Keychron keeb, flashed new firmware, it no work

tight pulsar
#

what firmware

queen sigil
#

keychron firmware

daring zenith
#

I didn't know keychron had firmware either lol

#

and I own a k8

queen sigil
#

that's because nobody really needs it

sudden marsh
#

i got more help here than on a dedicated keyboard server.

tight pulsar
#

idk i only deal with qmk and via

daring zenith
#

those are software :P

tight pulsar
#

yeah

queen sigil
#

"dedicated keyboard server"

gloomy berry
#

Did you flash it in Bluetooth mode?

queen sigil
tight pulsar
#

i dont deal with keychron stuff :p

gloomy berry
sudden marsh
#

i downloaded it and opened the firse executable there was

#

first*

gloomy berry
#

Right

#

after that's done, you need to do the post above

sudden marsh
#

i didnt let it finish doing that lmao

#

because it didnt say anything about the keyboard and was completely different

gloomy berry
#

You canceled the firmware flash?

sudden marsh
#

yes

#

am i an idiot?

gloomy berry
#

Well, KB is ded

neon quartzBOT
#
Olivera#2485 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

sudden marsh
#

oOf

tight pulsar
#

r m a

gloomy berry
#

Yup

sudden marsh
#

will they accept it lmao

gloomy berry
#

I mean

#

as a hail mary

#

Try the key combo above but expect to send it back

queen sigil
#

chances are pretty low

sudden marsh
#

ok i have it connected to a different computer now

queen sigil
#

again it literally says not to flash the firmware

#

if it works

sudden marsh
#

didnt work

#

stupid that it said nothing about not closing that window while it was flashing

#

how would i go about the rma process?

#

i still have all the packaging

daring zenith
#

Just tell support what happened, and they should lead you towards the rma process

gloomy berry
#

Contact Keychron customer support

sudden marsh
#

ok i did that to try and get help with fixing it but ill do it again saying I need to rma it

swift lantern
#

Something along the lines of going to "my orders" and clicking the "request return/refund" button

sudden marsh
#

Top tier web design

swift lantern
#

Oh, keychron...

sudden marsh
#

i ordered it off amazon

swift lantern
#

Then you can do it through Amazon ez

sudden marsh
#

oh

#

ok

#

which of these is the best option?

#

technically the shipping box is ok and the product is damaged

#

i'm going to do defective or doesn't work

#

aight this is what im going with

swift lantern
#

If it's within 30 days theyll usually just do it no questions asked

sudden marsh
#

oh ok cool

#

yeah its a breand new keyboard

#

brand*

#

so that comment will work?

swift lantern
#

👍

sudden marsh
#

ok and im going to just replace with he same item

#

or

#

maybe not

#

yeah im gonna look around a bit lmao

#

im just going to go with the same thing, it was a good keyboard and im just not gonna bother with any of the firmware for it

daring zenith
#

Keychron is bae, firmware and all are messy, don't mess with them if you don't have to.

sudden marsh
#

hmm

queen sigil
#

why were you flashing firmware to begin with exactallly

sudden marsh
#

are there any other good 65% gateron red keyboards out there for around 90 bucks?

#

thought i was downloading the software for it

#

im useless with all that lmfao

queen sigil
#

For 90% probs not

#

keychron is probs the best thing you can get for around that pricerange

sudden marsh
#

about how much would it cost to build basically the same thing?

tight pulsar
#

you could get the taobao special

daring zenith
#

taobao stuff weird

queen sigil
tight pulsar
#

@daring zenith should i buy a $12 tkl kit from taobao

daring zenith
#

what, nk65 is like 100$ for the board, plus prob 20$ for switches, another 10$ for keycaps?

tight pulsar
#

yeah or use superbuy

queen sigil
#

or do they ship to us

daring zenith
#

and that's not wireless

#

Keychron is wireless

queen sigil
#

10$ keycaps

sudden marsh
#

idc about wireless

queen sigil
sudden marsh
#

i use wired anyway

#

lmao

daring zenith
#

dunno

sudden marsh
#

im just gonna get another k6

daring zenith
#

I don't know keycap prices other thank 150$ gmk kits

sudden marsh
#

good keyboard im just an idiot

tight pulsar
#

geekark was like 20-30 for the gb

sudden marsh
#

i have a decent backup keyboard so im not totally screwed

calm cobalt
#

when i put my apex pros actuatuon to 1, it starts bugging out. Like the keys do weird thigns. For example the "E" Key brings up file explorer, the "Q" brings up the windows search bar, "R" brigns up run, etc.

#

Any ideas why and how to fix it?

tight pulsar
#

download switchhitter and see what keys are registering when that happens

calm cobalt
#

ok

#

ok

#

it for some reason thinks im holding down left windows

queen sigil
#

that happened with one of my old razer keyboards

#

where occasionally like alt, cntrl, shift, etc

#

would all just kept being triggered

calm cobalt
#

yea it weird

#

im gonan try to manually put my windowsd key actuaion up to 10

#

ight

#

i think it may have fixed it

tight pulsar
#

@queen sigil if you had a solder sucker you could just desolder it ez thinkies

#

but yeah probably an issue with the winkey switch false actuating

queen sigil
#

yea

#

it was a leaf thing i think

patent crater
#

Looking at the Ducky Shine 7 and was wondering about if anyone has a coupon code for mechanicalkeyboards.com they aren't going to use?

rugged lion
queen sigil
daring zenith
#

yea

rugged lion
#

solid nk65 build is like 200 dollars

#

nk65 is 90

queen sigil
#

lol what

#

a solid build could be like 140$

daring zenith
#

20-30$ should get you gat switches, keycaps maybe like 30$ more?

rugged lion
#

im talking like u dont cheap out or do any compromises

queen sigil
#

u didnt see that

daring zenith
#

ofc you'd prob go for better switches but, this was in relation to being about a Keychron replacement

rugged lion
#

im saying ur bougie

#

hk gaming keycaps

queen sigil
#

not really

rugged lion
#

jwick switches

#
  • lube and everything else
patent crater
#

oh fr? what do ya'll recommend?

daring zenith
#

Keychron

queen sigil
#

gateron cap switches 70 for 16$

daring zenith
#

oh really?

queen sigil
#

Chineese keycaps probs around like 30USD

daring zenith
#

I thought gateron cap switches were more expensive than normal

#

HK gaming keycaps seem nice tho

queen sigil
#

i mean i got mine for 16$ for 70

queen sigil
#

and what size keyboard

rugged lion
#

no caps are cheap

patent crater
#

let's go with $160 + tax cause that's what the Shine 7 is

daring zenith
#

Is that durgod price range?

#

Dunno about other prebuilts pricing other than Keychron

queen sigil
#

you could get basically any varmillo or leopold

#

or you could build a keyboard for that price

rugged lion
#

hk gaming is very nice however they do have some very common warping but they give u a free replacement if it is warped

queen sigil
#

160$ is about what I paid for my keyboard

#

Before shipping

rugged lion
#

ah yes

#

the 40% with arrow keys and numbers and more

queen sigil
#

wait

#

this is cool

#

keycaps are ugly

#

but still

rugged lion
#

gmk keycaps on the external numpad tho hold up

daring zenith
#

cherry only?

#

why is the website like half broken looking

tight pulsar
#

broken in cherry linears are nice

daring zenith
#

like cherry reds?

tight pulsar
#

yes

#

cherry housings are nice but the springs suck and the stems are okay

daring zenith
#

hm ok

#

bully cherry browns

tight pulsar
#

also my carmen should be here one day excited to build with these greetechs

daring zenith
#

wot dat

#

@tight pulsar is that a board?

tight pulsar
#

yeah

daring zenith
#

What form factor?

tight pulsar
#

alice style

daring zenith
#

I mean, size of board

tight pulsar
#

60 i told you like an alice :v

daring zenith
#

Oh fun

#

Mixed terms up

tight pulsar
#

heres a pic from one of the test fits

daring zenith
#

Thought alice was like profile of keycaps, like cherry

tight pulsar
#

smh

daring zenith
#

Looks interesting

tight pulsar
#

we’ve been waiting on a “special thing” to ship with the boards but its from the ohmk server so theres a 50/50 chance its a bad thing

calm cobalt
daring zenith
#

Uh, bac?

calm cobalt
#

I'm confused

tight pulsar
#

wut

daring zenith
#

Looks like just an ergo layout, the carmen

#

But what is bac

tight pulsar
#

wut

#

the back of the board or the board in the back?

tight pulsar
#

oh i meant bad

daring zenith
#

Board in the back looks like a 40% tho

tight pulsar
#

pretty sure its a 35 but yeah

queen sigil
#

i want 27%

rugged lion
#

pain27

#

end game

queen sigil
#

@tight pulsar so about that 12$ TKL kit

tight pulsar
#

what about it

queen sigil
#

can i see it lol

#

like the shop link or whatever

tight pulsar
queen sigil
#

i don't know why i asked for this

#

I can't understand anything

tight pulsar
#

dont blame me

queen sigil
#

tbh the case doesn't look terrible

#

do you know if its outemu hotswap

#

that's what it looks like

#

actually its probs not

queen sigil
#

wdym limiting factor?

elder pumice
#

i was told that hdmi 2.1 is ideal for 4k using a 3080, didn't know if i should be looking for dp 1.4 and/or hdmi 2.1 for 1440p using a 3070

queen sigil
#

im pretty sure display port can support 170hz

#

display port can support 240hz 1440p im pretty sure

elder pumice
#

dp 1.2?

#

or is that 1.4

tight pulsar
#

1.2 can do 144hz

elder pumice
#

okay

#

would it be better to use g-sync at 144hz or run w/o g-sync at 170hz

tight pulsar
#

pretty sure the dp and hdmi are wrong because both max out at 144hz and reading questions they say stuff about dp 1.4 and hdmi 2.1

daring zenith
#

1.2 should be able to do 170h with g-sync?

#

I think at least

elder pumice
#

144hz was my goal though so i'm satisfied

#

it'd be nice to use the marketed 170hz though

tight pulsar
#

dp is the only one to do 170hz ya

elder pumice
#

oh sweet okay

tight pulsar
#

just looked at the hwu review

dense radish
#

I personally don't need 170hz. I was happy with 144hz; that's my sweet spot

queen sigil
#

i mean might as well use it if you're gonna get a monitor
